Beat LA!

After feeling some pressure to get my portion of the project done and meet with my group at 7 last night while still holding a ticket for the game, I ended up deciding in favor of Petco. Which was the right call because it was the best game I've been to all year.


Tuesdays are pretty much my one ''free'' weeknight. So about a week before I had bought tickets with Chris to go to the game the following Tuesday against LA, but I didn't realize that I also made plans to meet with my group and turn in our weekly project assignment. Typically, it would be a huge guilt-trip to bail out and not come to a meeting, but bailing out on a friend who already paid for a baseball game would be worse. And my group this semester gets things done much more efficiently than those in the past; all the work gets done on our own with as little meeting time as possible. I handled the majority of the work on our last section and earned a 95/100 (should have been a full 100), so I felt I deserved to go to this game. And I did...

...which brings me to this baseball update for the last week of the season. Of course, playoff brackets will follow later but here is where the playoff teams/contenders stand:

Clinched Division:
American League
East - New York Yankees (currently 102-56)
West - Los Angeles Angels (currently 93-64)

National League
Central - St. Louis Cardinals (currently 90-67)

Clinched Wild Card:
American League - Boston Red Sox (currently 91-66)

Clinched Playoff Spot:
National League - Los Angeles Dodgers (currently 93-65)

In the American League, everything is decided except the Central. Detroit is up 2 games on Minnesota with 5 games left. The two actually split a doubleheader yesterday and will finish the series up today and tomorrow. Detroit's magic number is 4, but if the twins can win the final two games of the series they'll be tied with 3 games left. Detroit has 3 against Chicago, Minnesota 3 against Kansas City.

The National League has a few more races going, but primarily for the Wild Card. Division races are interesting but a long shot. Los Angeles is already in the playoffs no matter what, but they share the same magic number of 1 with Philadelphia. Colorado is 3.5 games behind Los Angeles for the NL West. Atlanta is 5 games behind Philadelphia for the NL East. Philadelphia has 5 games left and Los Angeles has 4, and most likely they will win one of these games and clinch their division. Each are 5-5 in their last 10 games...
However, San Diego beat Los Angeles last night and plays them again today. If they win and Colorado beats Milwaukee again, Los Angeles will go into Colorado for a 3-game series with only a 2 game lead. It's more a of a stretch for Atlanta in the East, who is 5 behind Philadelphia and have the 1 more with Florida then 4 with Washington. Philadelphia has 2 with Houston and 3 with Florida.
After all, it may just come down to Colorado and Atlanta fighting for the Wild Card, with Colorado only 1.5 games ahead.

Although my ultimate fantasy is to see Los Angeles and New York in the World Series, I would love it if after everything Los Angeles went in as the Wild Card and were upset by Colorado in the final 3-game series. It looks like I could possibly have both!

FTL

Tough Charger loss on Sunday. It's hard to see the offensive line give no protection to the quarterback, have him still throw for 400+ yards and end up losing. Actually the problems lie in both lines; the defensive line can't stop runs or tackle short passes to save their life. Other than that, the defensive ends looked pretty good and you're at least not watching the long bombs come down for catches too often. I think we kinda saw it coming because they played the same way against Oakland last week and everyone knew Baltimore is no AFC West chump.


For some reason, my internet has completely stopped working on my desktop and is either great or sketchy on my laptop. I'm starting to have my doubts about the AT&T cable, both internet and TV. I couldn't even watch the Chargers in HD because the channel wasn't subscribed, even though it says our package includes it. We're at the point where HD is basically standard now for the big networks, so we shouldn't be having these problems even though the service is so cheap. I think I can find a better deal with better features that my Mom will agree to.

Also, the PS3 is boxed up for good since I discovered the disc drive motor, or whatever spins the disc, isn't working anymore. It's going to cost about $70-100 for a new one, so I have to decide whether that will be worth it or if I should just sell the thing as-is on eBay and put the money towards a Slim or something. I guess I should also return that Blu Ray remote.

And congratulations to Casey B. I got a text early this morning that her baby was born, and I guess it's just natural to feel good about that. Because I did, and it's been a good Monday morning!

Apple Event

Even on UStream, there didn't seem to be any pirate live streams of today's Apple Event in San Francisco so I was forced to stay updated with liveblogs on Engadget. I think the coolest thing is the new iPod Nano, which now has a built in video camera, FM radio, pedometer and voice recorder. I would consider it over the iPod Touch if I was ever to get a new one.


And in other news, my PS3 is broken (probably the blu ray drive) and Windows won't start on my desktop after installing another new CPU fan. I need help : (

01 September 2009

Brothers

As a refreshing change, I decided to hang out with my brothers for the majority of the weekend. Actually, it just worked out that the most fun things I did were with them, and my cousin tagged along to join the fun as well.


Everett and I spent most of the time working on my computers, which included installing the latest OS on both. It took all weekend to download Snow Leopard (6 GB with low ratio) but it finally completed, although I haven't installed it yet. From what I've heard, it definitely makes things run smoother and clears up 8-10 GB of hard drive space which will be nice. It only costs $29, which is a reasonable deal, but I torrented it anyway because Mac does not need my money; actually, they already have more of it than I should have allowed...

While all that was downloading on the Mac, me Everett and Chris went to Fry's to pick up a new hard drive and either a new power supply or cpu fan. The fan was definitely what was making all the noise in my computer, but I couldn't really decide if it was worth it to replace it. One, the better fans are really only meant for better cooling for bigger processors, so they wouldn't necessarily be more quiet. Especially in an old Pentium 4. Also, I didn't realize the socket 775 has either a 3-pin or 4-pin connector. Plugging the 3-pin fan, which I ended up buying for $10, into the 4 pins on the motherboard meant that it would spin but not be detected in the BIOS. Therefore, no boot. Also, the stupid snap pins wouldn't fit unless I removed the metal plate that the old heat sync screwed into, and I even tried frankenstein the old and the new to get it to fit. I ended up just going back to the old one, which was much quieter after I cleaned out the cake of dust anyway. So I'll be going back this weekend to get my $10.

I did pick up the Blu Ray remote for the PS3 (sweet) and a 1 TB hard drive. I didn't realized there was an extra bay in the case, so I now have 1.2 TB of space. Installed much easier than the fan. Pretty much spent the whole night drinking some New Castle and installing Windows 7 with Everett, Mark and Yimmit. It took some time to get a few programs and hardware running since a lot of the drivers disappeared or were incompatible, but we got all the essentials done (network card, sound card, graphics card, etc..) because the troubleshooting is really good in 7. The OS runs really nice after a clean install. I like it. Mark had his own project with two old Thinkpads from my uncle, which he cleaned up and installed Obuntu on. He's good at doing well with low resources.

The next day after Chula Vista beat NON-commy China, I went back to Fry's with all three brothers to pick up the CPU fan (which I now have to return) and a new DVI cable for Darick. When we got home, I started to play around with the comp when Mark asked if I wanted to jam with them. This kind of took me by surprise...

Never have we all four played music together. The first thing I did was drag the stack and bass amp back into the music room. Next, I opened up Garage Band really quick and plugged the little mic I have into it. I just hung it on the door outside and didn't tell anyone. Then the magic happened. Mark was on drums, Darick played bass and me and Everett alternated lead and rhythm. We kept doing these long jam songs and alternating instruments; Everett on drums, Mark on bass, Darick on guitar, etc...someone would just start playing and we would add to it and build it up until it erupted, then bring it back down to earth and end it. We did this for a pretty long time, and I got the whole thing on tape. We can all pretty much read each other like a book and it was easily the best jam I've ever played.

Fall 2009

Ahhh, finally the Fall semester is upon us. Although this has been the hottest, most miserable week this summer it still feels like the season is going to turnover soon.


I have a total of 7 units this semester and I'm hoping to finally have some FUN with classes instead of putting too much on my plate and being completely overwhelmed. I only have class Monday, Wednesday and Thursday so I get a little break in the week. And since this the last little bit of my major, I'm expecting to get some good grades for a last-minute GPA boost before applying to grad school somewhere.

For the first time since Fall 2007 (man, that shouldn't feel like ages ago, but it does, and it was) I'm going to buy a trolley pass and ride without having to watch my back or look over my shoulder. The amount of money I paid in trolley tickets was foolish after all. I will be an adult and pay my fair share like the rest of society : )

G1 vs. MyTouch

Since we started talking about the differences between the G1 and the MyTouch (what we call the G2), I decided to look it up and pin down the specs on both once and for all. Here's the best article I found:



It basically says that everything is the same on the phones except for the obvious lack of physical keyboard on the MyTouch, as well as better battery life and a slimmer design. One forum stated that the G2 had more RAM, but I looked it up and it's not true; both have 192 MB. So I still think it stands that the G1 is the better phone, unless you insist on having the ''hippest'' phone available.

It also got me interested in jailbreaking the G1, which would allow apps to be installed on the much larger micro SD card rather than the internal memory. My G1 always runs best when nothing is installed, so this would definitely make for a smoother-running phone.

19 August 2009

FO>R>WAR>D

Since I got my G1, which has been satisfactory but expensive for the most part, the one thing it lacked for me was e-mail. I've always used hotmail, but using all the Google apps and services required that I create a Gmail account when I bought the phone. It has its own Gmail app, as well as an E-mail app for retrieving mail from other servers. The problem is that my particular Hotmail account does not support the POP (Post Office Protocol) application-layer standard, which is needed to ''pull'' data across the TCP/IP connection from Hotmail to Gmail(a lot of technical jargon from networking, I know)...that is, unless you PAY for a plus account. Yeah right.


But, I read in a forum that there's a trick to getting around this, which is really just the result of lazy programmers at Microsoft not noticing this ''glitch'': All you have to do is go into settings and turn on mobile updates, get an access code for your phone, activate it and then turn OFF mobile updates. For some reason, this disables the lock and allows messages to be forwarded, or ''pushed'', to Gmail using POP. Neat. Free.

So now, utilizing my one Hotmail address that I've had for 11 years, I can receive the messages in Hotmail and Gmail, as well as on the G1 and Macmail. In fact, you can send me e-mail to either address and I'll get it in both my Gmail box and my Macmail box. I'm hesitant to forward Gmail messages to Hotmail because it may create some loop, but I'll try it. It's cool because you can actually see the forwarding process as the data travels. If you send a message to Hotmail, the actual server gets it first, then Macmail, then Gmail, and finally the G1, all in succession. The whole thing takes about a minute, but it's worth it!

Label

Per our Green Day conversation Monday night at Second Wind...


While their albums have mainly been produced by Rob Cavallo and themselves, the credits vary from album to album (Green Day did Warning themselves, they used Butch Vig on their latest, Rob Cavallo was on most, etc.)...

however...

ALL Green Day albums have been released on Reprise, minus 1,039/Smooth and Kerplunk! from Lookout!. Record labels really don't have much to do with the actual recording and production of an album for big name bands. Once groups have the money and experience to make the music themselves in their own private recording studios, like Green Day does mostly, labels don't care where or how it gets done, as long as it gets done. They just handle all the marketing and other business aspects so they can bring in their cut.

So, it wasn't Adeline or any other label. Just Reprise the whole time. Look it up. Plus, none of this even really matters to me. I don't care who would ''skool'' me at knowing useless Green Day trivia. I'll play any Green Day song better than any other chump, guaranteed.

Vacation

Finally, after my boss was gone for a month in France, I can think about planning my vacation. I had mentioned taking one in the middle of July, but he happened to just ''disappear'' without notice and leave me feeling obligated to stick around. It always surprises me how little I even consider taking one in the course of a year, and the last time I did was more than a year ago when I went to New York with my Dad. Anyway, I want to save one week off for finals and take one week off before school starts again and go somewhere cool! I don't really know where or with whom yet, but it will happen.


Also, parties are gonna be a little less cool since we found out Martin is moving to 'bama to start a new life in the south. The four of us at least got in one last game of Hot Shots last night and shared a final dip. Hope the new area treats you well and you come back and see us sometime!

Independence Day

Have we all stopped blogging already!? Yeah I'm guilty too, but it only happens because we're having so much fun and there's no time to waste writing about it. Actually, I had a very long blog about our camping trip saved but never posted it, so I'll finish that up and post it just for fun. Don't want this thing to get too stale...

This really was the most eventful 4th of July in recent years. We started with a big breakfast and champagne around 10:00 AM, although I cracked open my first Corona under the already scorching sun and passed on the food. With the sun, beer, and somewhat clear pool, the afternoon felt similar to those daily summer swims of our childhood. I also made my way home to check out our own family bbq and rest some, since I think I was more out of it than I realized from all the sun and drinking. After heading to 7-11 with Tiffany for more beer and some ice cream for the walk back, I bent over to wash my hands in the pool...I assume everyone made their way to the hill to watch fireworks; I just sat on my roof and then passed out...

...until Kate came and dragged me out of bed and a whole new July 4th started. I definitely had a second wind since the sun had set, but I was afraid to drive anywhere because of all the cops on the roads and the checkpoints they had set up. I really just played pong, ate and did shots until walking back and forth multiple times between there and Ryder. Don't quite know exactly what happened with Lucas, but that was the last piece of drama before the night ended.

So that was July 4th. I'm loving summer and I wanna keep swimming all week. And where did Martin and Justyn go?

19 June 2009

Finally, we're getting out of Santee and not staying in a hotel for the night! Camping this weekend is gonna be a blast and I think the last time I went I was a sophomore in high school. This is a good time to post a blog as all electronics and other forms of communication, including cell phones and laptops, will be shut down for the weekend. Just the guys, beer, and nature.


Otherwise, work has been entertaining and my search for a new pad continues. Finding the right place requires time, and I'm still happily caught up in summer activities to properly devote enough to really find one I like. But I'm close...

Right now I'm just enjoying going to weekly baseball games and working on stuff at home with the bros. I've been torrenting like mad to get parallels on my laptop and run windows and OSX simultaneously. I kinda want to experiment with Windows 7, and I got a new copy of Sims 3 to try out. Also, iLife and iWork have new '09 editions that I want. Once I have a professional looking website for myself, I can start building a new resume and hit the job market again.

13 June 2009

Return

When was the last time I blogged? I've been putting it off and I like to think it's because I'm so busy I don't have the time to recap everything going on...sure, let's go with that.


School officially feels over after ending 3 weeks ago and I like it. Everything worked out as planned; it wasn't my best semester in college (probably my worst) but my solid GPA going into it and superior ability to improvise effort made sure that all the classes were passed and that I even managed to learn a thing or two along the way. I think I already talked about this, but I get a free summer and then I only have two classes in Fall. I'm actually looking forward to it because two other ladies from Santee will be heading west as well : ) Also, congratulations to Eli for graduating UCSD and Justyn for a successful first semester. Let's have a great summer!

So far, times have been good. Despite this June gloom, which makes it feel like we've been living in the Astrodome for two weeks, it's finally starting to feel like summer vacation. I've just been working, hanging out with people and actually starting to work out consistently again. There's a lot to improve on, both physically and mentally, but I'm enjoying the challenge and have to remember to not be impatient. The hunt for a new place to live has at least started, although it's tough to find that perfect one. Initially I was set on moving out ASAP, but I've kind of settled into the Santee slacker lifestyle again so I'm taking my time. I'm hoping we decide on Pravada, which is nice and out of the house but close enough to maintain said lifestyle somewhat. 

What else..Desiree is moving to New York for the summer, baseball on Sundays is the highlight of my week, and we're going to Anaheim to see the Padres play the Angels tomorrow. Times are good.

26 May 2009

SD @ LA

For that weekend series when the San Diego is in LA against the Angels, I think we should drive up for the day and go the game on Saturday night. Then we can grab dinner after at you know where. To anyone who is interested, we'll buy tickets Thursday night at poker.

22 May 2009

I would say this weekend officially kicks off my first ''summer vacation'' in a couple years!


After my lone final last week and my five this week, I'm finally done with this semester and school for Spring. I knew it would feel good to be finished regardless of the outcome, but to be honest I've been worried the past month about some of my grades. I don't mind barely passing the classes I don't care about, but I was at risk of affecting my GPA too much or even having to repeat IDS 396 W, and that would have REALLY messed up my plans for the rest of 2009. Right before my last final last night, I got word that some of the final grades were already posted on webportal, and I was debating whether to check them and risk hearing the seemingly inevitable news. However, something told me to go ahead and check, and sure enough I did fine on all my finals and projects, enough to keep my grade steady. What a relief! So as scheduled, I only have two more classes to take during Fall, which I already checked and they're available during the evenings. It has me wishing I had actually walked this semester, but maybe I'll just wait. It's not really a big deal to me anyway, but I should do it for my mom if nothing else.

It sounds like there's a ton of plans cooking up for summer so it'll be nice to be free for all of it. And I want to start by having a fantastic memorial day weekend. I really want to have a good barbeque, we don't do that nearly enough anymore and we used to have some pretty epic ones.

Practice

I thought practice on Saturday sounded good and was really enjoyable, probably due to the fact that we haven't done it in a while. Even though it seems like we've lost a step, I'm excited to get back into it once school is over, and I want to keep writing stuff so we have new material to play.


I also think we should have our own place to practice during the summer. I say we throw all our money into it and have a fat studio with everything we've ever wanted. We should make a point to record everything in us before it slips away: indie stuff, hardcore, Jetlag, pop punk, whatever. That's living. I want new guitars!

AND, even though I feel like I'm more productive on my own, once songs are pretty much complete we should bring Eli in to play guitar 2 and add more depth.

3rd Molars

I just had my wisdom teeth removed this morning. The bottom two were always a bit irritating, but they ended up taking out all four, which I wasn't expecting. 


The whole procedure really wasn't bad at all, despite all the speculation built up from others' experiences and stories. I was under the whole time (well mostly). I don't think he gave me much of anything during the procedure because I woke up twice; the first time he game a little more anesthesia, second time toward the end he just said "fuck it" and finished up. I can remember opening my eyes, seeing strange colors, and trying to speak, probably to tell him I was awake. It was hard because there was so much shit in my mouth and I was hopped up. Also, the numbness in my lips and chin went away in about 2 hours, while others said they were numb for 14! 

Anyway, it went by really quickly and to make up for the lack of drugs during the thing, he hooked me up with some Oxycodone, the stronger, bigger brother of Hydrocodone (Vicodin). Everything I needed for post surgery enjoyment was in one spot in Santee: Sav-On filled my drugs, Lucky had my hot and sour soup, and Best Buy provided 21st Century Breakdown limited edition. I promptly went home, popped a couple and blasted my first listen. Also Flo brought me ice cream, thank you! : )

I don't take the whole image seriously with Green Day's rock opera trend. But there are some good songs and I enjoyed it. They do know how to record an album, they're veterans now.

13 May 2009

Hyphy Weekend

Three things that get me hyphy:


1. Going to Stone with my mom and then talking about death on the drive back home...weird.

2. Playing baseball for 4 hours and then going to the beach, in 62 degree cloudy weather, to swim in the water.

3. Doing a shot of Hennessy with a pincher bug in it (I assume) and Grey Goose with Martin.

My first final is today, followed by 5 next week. AND, the Fall 2009 schedule has been posted with the two classes I need, both after 5 PM. I'm going to have a free summer and travel to India I suppose. 

08 May 2009

2 Weeks Remain...

I see everyone is blogging again so I guess I better keep up.


This semester is REALLY winding down now with only one week left of "classes" and the next week begins finals. I say "classes" because I'm not quite sure which ones are holding meetings and which ones aren't; the ones I actually went to the last few weeks pretty much already wrapped up. Even so, there's not much left except finals anyway so I'm just going to hit them hard and finish this up as quick as I can.

The last two weeks were really a load but provided a finale to most of the courses. I finished two big semester presentations, one last week and one this week. Those cost the majority of my free-time all semester, so I gasped as I finally came up for air when they were over. AND I did pretty well on them; the MGT 405 basically crowned me king of bullshit because everybody knows that class is a joke, unless for some reason you major in management, but I clinched our grade by nailing all the stupid questions they threw at us. The other more useful and relevant presentation went well last night, and I'm just glad it's all over. With the 50 or so page report of our work at designing an information system, at least I have something pretty to bring into interviews now.

After arriving home tired but satisfied, it would have been perfect to top off the week seeing Star Trek with everyone but I had to finish this last SQL project. Man, that shit is a bitch. And it just goes to show how this class is run and how outdated it really is by his instructions on turning it in: "Please turn in before noon on Friday (when there are no classes) and slide it under my office door". So I had spend lunch driving out there just to turn it in. But, again, I'm just glad it's over and I hope I did enough to keep my grade up. I really slacked in that class toward the end.

In a couple hours it will be weekend time though! I'm going to swim after work (finally : /) and then take my entire extended family to Stone tonight for my mom's late but important 50th birthday. I'm down to make it a double tomorrow too. Can't wait to go with Martin, and glad to see your first blog since who knows when!!

28 April 2009

Countdown

Yeah, it really was a weekend dominated by baseball. I hadn't really realized it until Chris said so. Friday was our first Padre game of the year and the only win of the homestand, so I'm glad we went that night instead of Saturday, which would have meant no 99 or sweet disco party! That was seriously the best night I've had in a long time, and the party wasn't bad either.


As I find myself trudging through the semester, it looks like there's only two weeks left before finals. I can't wait for this to end and summer to begin, and I can't believe my 36 unit barrage of classes in two semesters is coming to an end. Honestly, it's been the most work I've ever had to handle, but it's been been the best time of my life. All the memories made it whiz by; I can remember my first day after Bumbershoot like it was yesterday. AND after two full years here, I've officially taken more units at State than I did at SFSU. I guess this is home again... : )

So projects, presentations, and final exams pretty much fill the first three quarters of May, but I'm going to burn through it and hit summer with a bang. Sorry I missed basketball yesterday, but I had to be at school to finish up some final projects. Three weeks from now, I promise I'll be a basketball machine! All I want to do this summer is work out, travel, and start life after college. Yes, technically I have two more classes left, but who's counting. If they had offered them this semester, I gladly would have taken them, but I can't control that and I'm not going to let it ruin my "graduation". The bulk of the work is done and I don't care about walking or throwing caps in the air or any of that GradFest bullshit. I'm educated, I have high school diploma part two, time to move on.
